Description : native XML database in Java
>From the Apache site:
> Apache Xindice is a database designed from the ground up to store XML
> data or what is more commonly referred to as a native XML database. The
> name is pronounced zeen-dee-chay in your best faux Italian accent. Don't
> worry if you get it wrong though, we won't mind. We just care that you
> spell it correctly.
>
> You might be wondering what a native XML database is good for? Well it
> pretty much has one purpose, storing XML data. If you don't have any XML
> data, don't want any XML data or think XML is the most over-hyped
> technology of the new millennium, then Xindice is not for you. We're not
> out to change the way data in general is stored, only to provide a good
> solution for storing XML data. If you survey your projects and see XML
> popping out of every corner, then Xindice might be a real help for
> storing that XML.
>
> The benefit of a native solution is that you don't have to worry about
> mapping your XML to some other data structure. You just insert the data
> as XML and retrieve it as XML. You also gain a lot of flexibility
> through the semi-structured nature of XML and the schema independent
> model used by Xindice. This is especially valuable when you have very
> complex XML structures that would be difficult or impossible to map to a
> more structured database.

> At the present time Xindice uses XPath for its query language and XML:DB
> XUpdate for its update language. We provide an implementation of the
> XML:DB API for Java development and it is possible to access Xindice
> from other languages using built in XML-RPC API. As standards in the XML
> database area mature Xindice will include support for those that are

My main interest is in the XML:DB part, which is a prerequisite for the
RFP #296117 libjaxme-java -- open source implementation of JAXB, the
specification for Java/XML binding. I would suggest to have a separate
binary package for this one.
Thanks, Eric

Hello,
This is an automatic mail sent to close the RFP you have reported or
are involved with.
Your RFP wnpp bug is being closed because of the following reasons:
- It is, as of today, older than 365 days.
- It hasn't had any activity recently.
As this is an automatic procedure, it could of course have something
wrong and probably it would be closing some bugs that are not
intended by owners and submitters (like you) to be closed, for
example if the RFP is still of your interest, or there has been
some kind of activity around it. In that case, please reopen the
bug, do it, DO IT NOW! (I don't want to be blamed because of
mass closing and not let people know that they can easily reopen
their bugs ;-).
To re-open it, you simply have to mail control@bugs.debian.org
with a body text like this:
reopen 337220
stop
Further comments on the work done in the bug sent to
337220@bugs.debian.org would be truly welcomed.
Anyway, if you have any kind of problems when dealing with
the BTS, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than happy to help
you on this: <damog@debian.org>.
A similar process is being applied to other kind of wnpp bugs.
Thanks for your cooperation,
-- David Moreno Garza <damog@debian.org>.
